2-MONOPALMITIN Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

White Solid

Uses

A biomarker of metabolic responses to hepatotoxicants and carcinogens.

Definition

ChEBI: A 2-monoglyceride where the acyl group is hexadecanoyl (palmitoyl).

Biological Activity

Endogenous fatty acid glycerol ester that enhances activity of 2-arachidonylglycerol ((5Z,8Z,11Z,14Z)-5,8,11,14-Eicosatetraenoic acid,2-hydroxy-1-(hydroxymethyl)ethyl ester ). Does not bind to CB 1 or CB 2 cannabinoid receptors, but potentiates the apparent binding of 2-AG and increases its ability to inhibit adenylyl cyclase. Enhances in vivo cannabinoid effects of 2-AG following combined administration with 2-linoleoylglycerol.牋.
